Since its introduction,
Google Drive
has changed the way we work around in Gmail. It is not only time
saving, but also lets us organize our emails in a far better way than we
used to. If you are getting accustomed to using drive or are already
pretty good using it, here are seven things you didn’t know you can do
with Google Drive.
1.
Offline Spreadsheets
If your work calls for making a lot of spreadsheets, than this feature
can be nothing less than a blessing for you. Updated last year, the new
Google Drive spreadsheets have new functions like Averageif (which gives
you the average of specified cells), and unlimited cells, formulas and
columns. The best new feature is that you can even create, edit or
modify these spreadsheets without an internet connection. You can simply
log in and make a spreadsheet and as soon as you get a connection, you
can put it across.
2.
Keyboard Shortcuts For The Entire Gmail
You might know about general keyboard shortcuts, but chances are that
you might still be unaware of Gmail shortcuts. Well, to ease you out,
here is how to get Gmail shortcuts – just press “Shift +?” and there you
go, a window will appear displaying all the shortcuts that are enabled
and disabled.
3.
Customize Priority Settings: Control Who Sees What
Many people believe that Drive’s content is visible to all. That is true
but you can very much control its visibility according to your
priorities. You can limit your content’s visibility to the people whom
you wish to see your content.
4.
Surpass 25MB Attachment Limit
As you already know Gmail’s attachment size limit tops out at 25MB. But
luckily we can use Google Drive to attach much bigger files. To do this,
click on the small Drive icon while composing an email, and select your
attachment. Also, when you receive a big attachment, you can save it
straight to your Drive. There appears a save to drive option when you
hover on the attachment.
